Tūranga-i-mua

"[The eldest brother in the Māori text] Tūrangaimua married Rātiti, the daughter of the tohunga of Aotea, Kauika. From this union comes Ngā Rauru Kītahi." (Whanganui Iwi & The Crown, 2015).

"The Aotea left Hawaiki after a dispute between its captain, Turi, and a chief, Uenuku. Uenuku took offence at an offering from Turi and killed Turi's son Pōtikirōroa. In the reprisals which followed, Turi killed Uenuku's son Awepōtiki, cooked his heart and placed it in another offering to Uenuku, who unwittingly ate it. When he realised this, Uenuku assembled a large force against Turi. Turi procured the Aotea from his father-in-law, Toto, and sailed forth accompanied by another canoe, the Te Rīrino, which was lost in the Tasman Sea. The Aotea landed in a small bay called Hawaiki-iti in Aotea Harbour, just north of Kāwhia. The Aotea canoe was in command of Turi as Captain. With him was his wife Rongorongo, his son Turangaimua, his daughter Taaneroa and of course many others. During the voyage Turi wife gave birth to another son, Tutawhanau-moana (born of the sea)

They landed safely on the West Coast of the North Island at what is known today as Aotea Bay near Kawhia Harbour. After a long rest they traveled south overland and reached Patea where they settled and Turi built a home for his people. At Patea another son was born to Turi,s wife and he was named Tongapotiki." (Taonui, 2015).

"Turi and his wife, Rongorongo, had four children, Tūranga-i-mua (a son), the eldest, Tāneroa (a daugher), Tūtawa-whānau-moana (a son born at sea), and the youngest, Tongapōtiki..." (Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi & Her Majesty The Queen [macrons added], 2003).
